iproute2: support device group semantics

2011-02-25T20:43:14+00:00

Add the group keyword to ip link set, which has the following meaning:
If both a group and a device name are pressent, we change the device's
group to the specified one. If only a group is present, then the
operation specified by the rest of the command should apply on an entire
group, not a single device.

So, to set eth0 to the default group, one would use
	ip link set dev eth0 group default

Conversely, to set all the devices in the default group down, use
	ip link set group default down

don't make veth a shared library

2007-10-11T20:01:42+00:00

Making veth a shared library for ip caused build problems (not PIC)
and is unneeded.

Module for ip utility to support veth device (v.2.1)

2007-09-05T11:04:16+00:00

The usage is
# ip link add [name] type veth [peer ] [mac ] [peer_mac ]

This version doesn't include the fix for ip/iplink.c as Patrick
said that he had included it into his patches already.
